Bagnaia ahead of Martin in free practice for the Malaysian GP, ​​Quartararo qualified in Q2

Finally a smile for Quartararo

The good surprise of the day is to the credit of Fabio Quartararo, sixth time (1'58''303) with a Yamaha, who is in better form than at the start of the season. The Frenchman's teammate Alex Rins, eighth (1'58''336), also qualified for Q2 as he finished in the top ten. This is the first time since Portimao (March 24, 2nd GP of the season) that the Japanese brand has placed its two motorcycles in Q2. Riding his Honda-LCR, Johann Zarco set the 13th time (1'58''625).
